Oh, apart from the times when punching a guard results in absolutely nothing happening at all. Those are the best bits. Never mind the fact that the level design is totally uninspired, with networks of bright, yellow pipes forming convenient ladders all over the place.
Did these people not play Arkham Asylum? Publisher: Deep Silver. Authentic Prison Break experience: Prison Break features a suspenseful, gripping storyline written in part by the original writers of the Prison Break TV series, as well as voice talent from the actors behind all of the major characters of Prison Break season 1 including Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, and Robert Knepper.
Immersive stealth action gameplay: Players will sneak around in the shadows, hide in lockers, roll from cover to cover, pick locks, and stay silent in order to take on a myriad of stealth missions. Grab you car keys and hope that the store you bought the game from allows refunds.
And so on. Pretty much the only thing the in-mates don't ask you to pick up for them is dropped bars of soap in the showers, but that doesn't mean the game doesn't still provide you with a major pain in the ass on a regular basis.
This is largely due to the completely inflexible stealth system that forms the framework of the experience. If you're spotted sneaking around somewhere you're not supposed to be it's instant fail, return to checkpoint, try again. Doesn't matter if it's a guard who spots you, or a kitchen worker, or even a lowly janitor.
Once seen by a non-inmate NPC you're not even given the option of confronting, evading or incapacitating them. Wasn't this style of stealth game sentenced to death a couple of console generations ago? Which isn't to say you don't have any room to manipulate your captors provided you remain unseen. Yes, you can. On precisely two occasions in the entire game, and not because you've chosen to, not because you've outsmarted the baton-twirling bullies by cunningly taking advantage of your surroundings, but because that just happens to be the one and only method you can use to progress in those particular instances.
Ditto the handful of times you're forced to use fuse boxes in order to kill the power to the lights in certain areas. Otherwise for the bulk of the game you'll be hiding in cupboards and underneath delivery vans, or swatting at security cameras to magically disable them for temporary periods, as you plod your way through the same areas of the prison several times over, going to great lengths to avoid a game-ending encounter with a guard and thus completely eliminating the possibility that something exciting might ever occur.
Admittedly the mind-numbing stealth is broken up a bit by hand-to-hand scraps with your fellow cons — either incidentally as you skulk around the hallways, or voluntarily as part of the underground fights accessed in the prison yard which earns you cash that you can spend on tattoos… and only tattoos.
Rating: 2. A pathetic try to cash in on the show's success. Rating: 5. Give me a break from Prison Break, well, at least from this slight let-down of a title!!

Rating: 3. Truly, one of the worst games i've played in years. Rating: 1. By bimap Review Date: May 23, X
